Pork roast in a bag- Slow cooker recipe

Pork roast in a bag- Slow cooker recipe


Fancy a roast dinner but don't want loads of washing up afterwards or having to stand over a hot oven for long time then why not do it in a slow cooker :)!!!

• Joint of Pork
• Potatoes cut to the size you require
• Any Vegetables
• Gravy
• Bake in bag
• Yorkshire mixture (2 medium eggs, 2 heaped table spoons self raising flour, 2 heaped tables spoons  plain flour, 4 table spoons milk mix together. Makes roughly 8-12)

Pop the cut potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker then place a little bit of water in the bottom then pop the veg on top, you can do this either way round. I cheated this time round and got frozen vegetables as haven't got any fresh vegetables in at the moment. 

Then pop the joint of pork inside the bake in bag and pour the mixture in and move the joint all about in the bag (mine is a garlic & herb one from Morrisons with picture of chicken thighs on the front. Loosely tie it and place on top of the vegetables.

Pop slow cooker on low for 4 hours and med- high for 3 hours it does all depend on slow cooker. After then i took the joint out and popped it on a baking tray along with the potatoes just to make them crispsy, whilst the Yorkshire puddings were cooking in the oven. Whilst they are in the oven make up some gravy and pop it in slow cooker with the vegetables. Once Yorkshires are done serve all the food and Enjoy :)!!!

What do you like to have for a Sunday roast dinner??? Comment below :)Look forward to hearing what you have... 

Fakeaway Slowecooker recipe

Fakeaway Recipe (Homemade Doner Kebab)

• 500g Lean Lamb Mince (can be done with any mince if you don't like lamb)
• Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Oregano Dried
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried Mixed Herbs 
• Pinch Of Garlic Salt
• Sprinkle Of Salt 
• Sprinkle Of Black Pepper
• 1/4 Dried Italian Spiced Herbs
• Pitta Bread
• Salad
• Tin foil

Put the Mince in a bowl and pop in each ingredient at a time and mix all together. Now this is the fun part start beating and punching it all as you need to beat it real hard to mix it right in and to get any air gaps out of the meat (this is to stop it from going dry!)

Shape the meat into a loaf shape and wrap in tin foil. When all done get some foil balls and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker. I always pop a little water in the bottom of the slow cooker just to cover the bottom as don't like using it dry. Pop about 4 holes in the bottom of the wrapped meat and pop the loaf on top of the foil balls with holes facing downwards this helps the fat to drain out and wont be sitting in its fat. Pop the slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours, low 5-6 hours (may vary for each slow cooker)

Dont be tempted to lift the lid whilst its cooking as it take a while for slow cookers to regain there heat. Check just before it should be done and see if the meat cooked. Once cooked use a potato peeler to thinly slice your meat. Heat up the pitta bread for few minutes under grill. Pop meat into sliced pitta bread with some salad and enjoy :)!!

Review; Daewoo with fat fryer microwave

So happy to be accepted to review a microwave from AO :)!!!! My one was on its way out so this came at the best time ever! I received the microwave few days after being accepted. It arrived but there was a fault that when was on microwave setting it wouldn't heat up. So contacted the company and they had a new one out to me within few days and was delivered on a Sunday amazing service :)!!!  You can find the microwave here at a price of £149. This not just any standard microwave. It has microwave, grill, oven, home fryer, steamer (to clean oven). defrost. Also goes into eco mode after hasn't been used for little which is after 10 mins with no activity  to save energy which is absolutely great :)!  also has a cooling mode after it has finished one con about that though the cooling is a little loud but doesn't go on for long. Everything works quite well.

The microwave setting,

You just have the glass plate in there and set the time to how long you need it on for by turning the dial and then selecting start.

Convection oven, Combination cooking or Auto cooking menu 5

You can use the convection cooking with pre heat setting by selecting the temperature you need then press start it will then pre heat and then pre heat you then select the time you need to cook for by turning the dial and selecting the amount of time and then press start. Or just have it so you put food in right away and cook without pre heating it.

Oven cooking pizzas,cakes

Same as the oven cooking but with a rack.

Home fryer, 

There pre set functions for this or you can set your own time to cook. They do come out a little crispy if cooking say chips but i have found not all of them to. Its a trial and error with this. They do taste quite nice though. In the manual is a guide of times to cook stuff and always recipes you can make and use the home fryer. 

Overall i really do love this microwave has so many things can cook in it from cheese on toast to chips :)!!.  Just remember DO NOT use the metal try in the microwave function. 

Why not check out my Youtube video review i done on this microwave as well you can see that here
